Unfiltered Story #114604
I work at for a cheesesteak chain where shall the branches are independently owned and operated, so our menu and hours are different from all the others. 5 minutes after closing, a couple walks in. Our frier is turned off, but we can still make cheesesteaks on our grill
Me: Hi, there, folks.
Man: Can I get the pepper cheesesteak?
Me: you bet.
Woman: Can I have 20 buffalo wings?
(We can’t cook anything that needs the frier)
Me: I’m sorry, ma’am, but we just turned our drier off for the night. If you’d like, I could–
Woman: What? You turned off your frier already? But it’s so early! You guys don’t close for another hour!
Me: Actually, ma’am, we closed five minutes ago.
Man: But your website says you close at 8.
Me: Yes, but because all our branches are independent, the owner has us close at 7. If you’d like, I can still get you your cheesesteak?
Man: Alright.
The woman moves back towards the door muttering about how we robbed her of her dinner while the man reaches for his wallet. He pulls a folded piece of paper out and hands it to me. It’s a coupon that our branch hasn’t supported for years now.
Me: I’m so sorry, sir, but we no longer support this coupon.
Man: You know what, you’re all just a bunch of F***ING A**HOLES and you just lost our business!
They storm out.
Cook: Did they leave?
Me: Yeah.
Cook: Thank god.
